2 years agoAtlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Strider is scheduled to make his first major league start on Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Charlie Morton and Kyle Wright, respectively, will pitch the final two games of the series in Arizona. Strider has made 13 relief appearances for the Braves, including 11 this year, but he has yet to start a game in the big leagues. In his 24 1/3 relief innings for Atlanta this year, he's allowed only six earned runs on 14 hits while walking 11 and striking out 37 hitters. The hard-throwing 23-year-old could remain in the Braves rotation if he pitches well, making him a candidate to be picked up off the waiver wire in mixed leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
